Wide range of parameters

MeteoGroup’s historical data includes wind speed, direction, temperature, dew point and precipitation. The data is conveniently broken down into hourly intervals and daily summaries.

Location-specific hail data

Measurement network

Our historical datasets are driven by 17,000 weather stations all over the world and a private weather-measurement network of approximately 1,600 stations, ensuring you have the most reliable dataset available.

Hail detection

Combining radar data and a sophisticated in-house hail detection methodology, MeteoGroup offers you temporally and spatially precise data on the frequency of hail events in Germany for the last 10 years, with 90% accuracy in estimating hailstone diameter on any given day. Further processing of the statistics is available in geo-information systems (GIS).
